The Grands Letter (Late Editio) (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on September 28, 2016 8:34 am (CST)Dear Grands,
Acts 13:50-52, “But the Jews incited the devout women of prominence
and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against
Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district. 51 But they
shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
52 And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.”
You just can’t stop some people! Despite announcing Good News to
Jews and Gentiles, Paul and Barnabus were persecuted and driven
out of the Jewish district. But did they cry and give up? Absolutely Not!
The joy of the Truth of the Good News they preached and the joy of the
Holy Spirit filled them to overflowing! So, it is to be with us. Our witness
will sometimes (often?) be rejected. Are we to quit witnessing? NO!
Just keep remembering how good the Good News really is, and keep on
sharing! While we may not stop the unbelief of some, neither will they
stop the joy within us! So there!
Love you all and pray for you daily,
Nana & Dado III
